because its very relaxing for them and they know that you love them when you do it and they feel safe

I think its the attention you reassure them by touch like their mum lickin them when they were small which is a comforting sensation as they were warm fed and looked after.
Funny how I dont rememba bath night so fondly!? lol!

Well, hmmmnnn...since you said no rude comments I'll leave what I really want to say to your imagination. You're scratching places they usually can't get to when they have an itch...that's why they like it so much...Kind of like that spot everyone has on their back they just can't reach...but when someone scratches it you get goose bumps from how good it feels. PEACE!

maybe it wants you to sratch its fleas? often though i think that people equate human emotion wiht animals...they don't feel the same way we do. They might also want to go outside to do there business or are hungry or thirsty.

Maybe it reminds them of their mothers licking them?
